Tyler Smith says he’s ‘really comfortable’ at guard as Cowboys consider move to tackle
The Dallas Cowboys have some big choices to make before the 2024 NFL Draft later this month. One of the biggest questions they have to answer is how they’ll replace long-time starting left tackle Tyron Smith. In 2022, when Smith suffered a severe leg injury, the team opted to try rookie first-rounder Tyler Smith there. It worked well, but once the veteran returned to full health, he returned to left tackle. Tyler Smith had a standout year at left guard this season, which has him quite content…

Subfitness in distributive (semi)lattices
We investigate whether the set of subfit elements of a distributive semilattice is an ideal. This question was raised by the second author at the BLAST conference in 2022. We show that in general it has a negative solution, however if the semilattice is a lattice, then the solution is positive. This is somewhat unexpected since, as we show, a semilattice is subfit if and only if so is its distributive lattice envelope.

Yet, it varied by several hundred ppm in an irregular way on a timescale of weeks. The largest polarization change, amounting to 2500 ppm, occurred shortly after the last pulsation ``resumption'' event identified by Abt et al. (2023) in TESS photometry. The relationship between…
